33. Historical Facts on the Handshake In ancient times, the handshake was an open hand to another person to show there were no weapons. LinkLink The first sighting of a handshake is among the Egyptians, in 2800 BC. The handshake has always been with the right hand because it carried the weapons.

Link Link In medieval Europe, knights & kings used to shake hands to show one another there were no weapons & no intention to harm the other. LinkLink The average person performs 15,000 handshakes during his life. Link How big is 15,000?15,000 Link15,000 GayleFisherFactVisualization32
